Dionizas Poška

Dionizas Poška was born in 1764 in Samogitia, into a family of lesser nobility. A pupil of the college of Kražiai, he worked from 1786 to 1821 in the courts of Raseiniai and lived from 1790 on his estate of Barzdžiai, near Bijotai. In 1812, he installed in the hollow trunk of a thousand-year-old oak, the Baublys, the country's first museum of antiquities. He gathered his texts and those of his friends in a manuscript collection, began in 1825 a Polish, Latin and Lithuanian dictionary that he left unfinished, and died on 12 May 1830 at Barzdžiai.
